Presentation Transcript

  1. Adding Multi-wavelength Capabilities to the IMPROVE HIPS System Chuck McDade Crocker Nuclear Laboratory University of California, Davis Presented at Incline Village, Nevada October 2012

  2. Current HIPS System

  3. 633 nm Red Laser System

  4. New Broadband Design Multiple wavelengths elucidate aerosol composition & properties

  5. Collection Optics

  6. Multi-wavelength System Characteristics • System will span the visible spectrum from UV to near-IR. • Spectral resolution will be selected, can be as little as 1 nm. • Comparison tests will quantify performance at 633nm (current system).

  7. Status of Development Work • Currently refining system design and mathematical model to simulate radiative losses & spectral resolution. • Next – Test critical components. • Finalize design, purchase components, assemble system. • Test and verify new system, establish calibration procedures, compare to a set of previously-analyzed filters. • Place into operation sometime in 2013.
